Crisp fall air always means change for mares and foals at Lane’s End. Zenyatta’s Medaglia d’Oro filly has recently been weaned. As 17Z and her herd playfully enter a new stage in life, Zenyatta enjoys some quiet time with her fellow mares.
Ann visited the farm in late September to spend some time with Zenyatta and her filly. We’re happy to share these photos from her trip. Scroll all the way to the bottom for videos too! Next week we’ll post a recent photo update from Alys.

To all whom wished me heart felt comments on the last blog. Thank You so much. These pictures of Zenyatta and Baby Z sure do help the heart. Did make it to the sale and that helped my heart too. The Filly’s sure did seem to rule that sale. Well in my opinion. Met the most adorable Filly by Awesome Again. She made me smile so big and am still laughing. She was in her stall and she gave me the cutest little half rear up. Then she did another. She was trying to be a big girl. She is only 1. So Adorable.

To Ann Moss, Team Z, Lane’s End and of course, Zenyatta & 17Z,
What a wonderful surprise to brighten the weekend! These are beautiful photos, and I love the videos, too. 17Z has really grown and is gorgeous like her mama!
Thanks so much to Ann for the great photos — a trio of lovely ladies. :-)
Hugs and Love ❤️

Oh Ann, thank you so much for these delightful photos and happy, happy, happy videos!
What a feisty little charmer! She has an enormous personality and the energy to go with it!
Thanks to everyone on Team Z and Lane’s End for taking such good care of our precious girls… And for continuing to share news about them with all of us.

A Letter to Ann-
I know Zenyatta has many Fans and has she should but YOU are the REAL SHERO. The way you connect with the Horses is Amazing. It is PURE LOVE. I wish that more Owners treated them as Family. I appreciate you more then you know. Horse Racing is the greatest Sport alive but people judge it because it is Animals but these Athletes are the Best!! They go out on that track and give it everything. Animals live in the present unlike Humans and that is why I have a tremendous respect for them. You are the next Penny Chenery! Embrace that because we need a Penny! You are so giving to Zenyatta’s Fans and you are a gift. I honestly hope you get to read this because you are GOLD!! Thank You!
Darlene Daniels
Thank you Ann and Lanes End for these wonderful photos and videos. Zenyatta looks as gorgeous as ever and Z17…..Wow, I have no words for how beautiful she is. Love her personality too. Zenyatta still makes my heart skip a beat. She always will.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Zenyatta, my angel, I love you forever.

Dear Ann, Momma Z & Weanling Z Filly,
Thank you so much for the photos and the videos! I am so happy to see you spending time together! I’m also glad to see everyone looking happy and healthy. I really enjoy the updates; they are always a treat.
May God’s love continue to shine on all of you because you are all blessings that lift our spirits.

Thank you Ann for these continued glimpses into Zennie’s life and Z17 as well. I have a yearling now and a 7 month old weanling from our broodmare, Addison’s Honor. So I am so aware of the thrill and magic that you feel. But I got to know Zenny at barn 55 and she is still the absolute Queen of racing and of broodmares. Again, thank you.
Julie from Kokomo
These are some of the best ever! Thanks, Alys!

Anne and Team Z
Thank you for the updates, it is always such a joy to see Queen Z and 17Z. I love seeing the updated pictures of them both. Zenyatta is such an amazing Being. Baby Z17 is such a beautiful filly. Perfect health for Zenyatta, Baby Z17 and Baby Z18. Is a future War Front baby Z possible?
Anne thank you again for sharing and keeping us updated! Everyone here is so grateful as you continue to share updates. I love Zenyatta’s new DVD! Blessings to Anne, Jerry, and Team Z.

Wow, wow, wow! Thank you so much for these pictures of “our” girl;s, including Ann. We’ve been so taken up with foal watch that I had almost forgotten this baby. What a doll! Great to see her having fun with a friend and starting to master the fine art of “herding”. She should be a pistol for sure. Love it! Hugs to all.
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
WOW!!!! Thank you SO much to Ann and Team Z for these absolutely wonderful photos and videos (the first we’ve seen, I think?). So great to see ALL of you!! That little girl is really something else and already seems to know where the camera is. Peeking over the fence in that first photo . . . . ha! This is a truly great treat, and we all appreciate it more than words can say! ♥♥♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY to our Kentucky gal and great friend, Debbie G! Hope you have a good day and a great year! ♥

Wow Aidan claims his 24th group one as Roly-Poly’s brother US Navy Flag wins the Dewhurst.Expert Eye was a huge flog(hope nothing is amiss)He sweated up and was very unsettled in the stalls.Not only did the master of Ballydoyle win but he trained the first 4 home!The record is in his sights.

Dear Sheena:
Wow, congrats to US Navy Flag AO’B. Love and Hugs, JB

The race starts in one county and ends in another 34 runners but Withhold wins the Cesarewitch for de Souza and Roger Charlton.I think the Mullins horse was 3rd.Huge congratulations to all the connections

Z17 is one gorgeous little girl and I just loved seeing her live on video, as well as these lovely photos. And I’m glad to hear the weaning went smoothly. Too, I always love seeing you, Ann, with Zenny so that was a treat.
I won’t stay on long folks because I’ve got an achey shoulder at the moment that’s seriously cutting in to my computer time, but I send all my friends here my love.
Peppermint kisses to beautiful Zenny. Love to Z17 and her big brothers. Z Princess & little boy: you are forever in my heart.

What a wonderful treat it is to find these fantastic photos and the two bonus videos when I came to the website this morning! It always amazes me how generous and kind it is of Ann and Team Zenyatta to share these updates of our Queen with all of us who love her and her babies. 17Z sure looks like a beautifully conformed filly to my untrained eye and her attitude and athleticism sure shows in her playfulness. Oh my! She will be a force on the race track. Thank you for such a great lift to this day.

Hi
Thanks for all the great pics and videos of Zenyatta and her foal.
I would like to know will the DVD of Zenyatta play on DVD’s in the UK? We are on Region 2 in the UK. Have followed her racing career since she started, a wonderful true champion.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Myra and Madalaine Stanway
Debbie
Absolutely precious! LOVE these videos and photos, thank you!!! I am sooo happy to see all is well:)
Catherine Uher
Oh boy!!! Little Miss 17Z is something else!!! She is a little Zenyatta 2.0!!! These pictures and the videos are just absolutely wonderful and I can’t thank Ann and Team Z enough for sharing these precious and priceless moments with us!!! John should have lots of fun with his very special little filly by the time he gets her…she has so much spunk and watching her run looks like a smaller version of her mama…she definitely has Zenyatta’s hind quarters and beam!!! I’m still pulling for Z’dorable to be her name but I’m sure whatever they choose will be quite befitting to this precious little girl!!! Oh Happy Day!!! This just got me out of my funk so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ for this post!!! ??????????????????

Dear Catherine,
Z’dorable! I like it. :-)

Thank you for sharing these beauties with us. In a time when our world is in constant strife, it’s like a healing hug to see Zenny and babies.
God has blessed Zenyatta with such beauty and grace.
